I’ve had mine on this sand coir mix for 10 years. Always worked for me and my tortoise. Thanks for the input Tommy!

I use a mix of coco coir and sand for my Greek tortoise (70/30 mix). it holds humidity well and gives enough structure for digging. I don’t see many people use orchid bark but I have seen repti bark used for structure but that can be expensive.

I am not the most educated on the site, but when she is older you will need a lot more space indoors and preferably an outdoor enclosure to compliment that. It is not recommended to have tortoises roam freely in the house. Also, since this tortoise seems to be a hatchling (I believe) you will...

Thanks! Appreciate you guys for always being so quick and knowledgeable!

What’s the best way to hang CHE’s? I was thinking hanging the domes on cup hooks screwing them through the top… just not sure if the heat will sufficiently get to the ground level. They are only 2 feet high so I may be overthinking it but.
